Make your home even more cozy this winter with proper humidification

01/03/2017

It’s not the heat, it’s the almost nonexistent humidity. Humidity is something that people only look to mention during the summer, but lack of humidity in your home could be negatively affecting your indoor air quality and your comfort. As much time as we spend in our home, specifically when it’s wintertime, a whole-home humidifier could really improve your comfort and also your health.

Staying Healthy
Having the appropriate humidity levels in your home can help stop the spread of infection. Air without humidity dries out the mucus membranes within your sinuses, which sift out bacteria. Dry air also increases the likelihood of colds and flus in the colder months. Furthermore, bacteria and viruses have a tougher time drifting in moist air. Setting your home at optimal humidity could help you keep on feeling well throughout the coming season.

Ease Static Electricity
Is your hair standing on end? Have you been upsetting your family and pets? Listening to your sweater crackle as you put it on? You may have a humidity predicament. Moisture in the air lets static charges to leave items because water conducts electricity; with no water in the air the charge is stuck where it is, and someone is going to get shocked.

Increased Comfort
Whole-home humidifiers allow your home feel hotter during the winter months. Just like a humid day in the summer might feel warmer than it actually is, humidity in the winter will actually make you feel warmer. Not only will the correct humidity level keep you comfortable, it could also lower your monthly bills. If you feel cozy you won’t have to hike up your thermostat to stay comfortable.
